So I still have my photo that I was working on last time and if I go back to my radial adjustment and
click this we can see that part of what was edited is the sky above this hill so it might be easier
if I turn this off so you can see that.
See this part of the sky.
Let me zoom in just a little bit so you can really see go back to my radial filter.
Turn this on make sure I haven't selected so part of this hill in the background that I had added the
graduated filter to to make it blue is becoming warm and I don't want that.
So what I can actually do is use a brush clicking this brush tool to add or subtract part of this selection.
So I want to subtract.
So it has the minus or erase option to make the brush size a little bit smaller feathering a little
smaller flow will increase.
Something like that.
Now if I brush over here you can see that I can get rid of some of that selection.
Now I might have to go in and make my size really small so I'm not selecting some of these houses up
above but say I go through here looking pretty good and then I go Woops I got some of that tree.
We can just click that plus sign.
And now this is sort of an add brush that allows us to add but make it really small.
Back some area so you can get pretty precise.
You can also just use the option key to switch from the plus to the minus.
So holding then the option key gets me my option brush so I can just quickly move around.
Now this is just sort of a workflow thing.
I'm just using this brush but now I've gone through this whole area.
But I want to move the photo to the left or right.
Just switch over to the hand by pressing the spacebar click and drag.
Now I can go back here option to get my arrays brush raise all this.
So now the background isn't being adjusted by this radial adjustment core right.
So now let's zoom out all the way see what it actually looks like.
Turn off our mask and now that probably looks a little bit more natural.
All right.
So there's one other option and that's this range mask and you have that both for your graduated and
your radial filters.
Let's go turn on our overlay.
Go back to edit and then let's delete this for now because I just want to have my graduated filter so
see how we have this graduated filter and selecting everything.
What if we only want to pick a specific color or luminous to adjust what we can do.
Try this mask.
Well we can do is turn on the range mask for color or illuminates.
So if I do by color then what I can do is pick a specific color in this image to edit.
So click this eyedropper then click in my image to these mountains for example.
Now if I let me reset these settings so we're not having any adjustments done yet.
So what it's done is selected the original color of these mountains the gray.
If I turn on my maps you can see that it's more or less selected the mountains without the sky which
is what I want.
If I just want the sky then I would click the color the eyedropper and click in the sky and see how
it just it just the sky now.
So now I can go in here I can make the sky really warm it's turn off my map so we can see say we want
the sky to have that deep haze but we don't want the mountains in front of it to have the deep haze
can make it brighter make it darker or whatever and now that adjustment is just being made to the sky.
If I want to go in and sort of adjust how much is selected or not I can choose this color range decreasing
it gets very precise with the colors that are selected increasing it selects more.
It did a pretty good job when it was at 50 there.
Now if I want to go in and adjust just the mountains now what would I have to do I would actually have
to go and create a new graduated filter.
So let's go out and do that reset our settings click and drag over our mountains.
Let's make this green down here.
Turn on the mast so you can see what's selected.
Now with the range mass turned on to color.
Let's go ahead and pick the blue of the mountains.
So now this is cool because it selects some of the blue and these foreground mountains beef in front
that we were selecting before.
If we want to get more specific we can drop down the color range turn off our mask and now we can adjust
the mountain say we want the mountains to be more blue or more purple purple mountains majesty.
That's a American song if you don't know.
Turn on some delays and adjust the mountains separate from the background.
Now this is getting a little bit wacky a little bit unrealistic but hopefully you can kind of see by
now that using the range mass options you can select specific colors and or brightness is.
So if we take the radio filter reset all our settings and then just click and drag around.
Let's move this around here turn on the mass so we can see that we're selecting the inside.
If we turn on our range mass to luminescence What if we just want to select the bright part of this
image or the selection we can take this left side of the luminous range and drag it to the right.
So it's just picking the highlights if we keep this to the left and drag the right side down.
We're just selecting the shadows of the selection and the smoothness will sort of blend it in or make
it more harsh if you really want to be particular about what you're selecting.
And now what we're doing is adjusting just that selection within this radial filter.
So if we want to bring up the shadows of just this selection we can bring up shadows with blacks shadows
right there.
There was exposure you know that doesn't look good.
We can create sort of a Halloween effect like so but you can see that is just affecting that part of
the image.
Now again this might be good if you're shooting a photo a portrait a group shot and some people are
in the shade some aren't.
You got splotches of light in the shade some fully in the sun.
You can make a selection of just the bright parts of people's faces and bring those highlights down
or you could select just the shadows of people's faces and bring them up.
It's a great way to be very specific with your selections and adjustments.
Thank you so much for watching this tutorial and we'll see you in the next one.
